I watched the video for this recipe and the butter is mixed up. For the crust, it's 1/2 cup and for the sweet potato mixture, it's 1/4 cup. I simmered the sweet potatoes in their skins for about 30 minutes and then shocked them in ice water. The skins came right off. You don't want to put the crust mixture on before you bake. You bake the sweet potato mixture for 30 minutes and then add the crust mixture and bake for another 10 minutes. This is per the video and the chef's instructions. Had I not seen this, it would not have been so perfect! Watch the video before you make.

If you watch the video of the chef at Ruth's Chris demo this dish here: http://blog.nola.com/dining/2007/11/cooking_new_orleans_style_with_16.html you'll note that in the video the chef adds 1 stick of melted butter to the crust and 1/3 stick of butter to the sweet potatoes. The printed recipe, propagated on the web, has these quantities reversed.

If you have been to RUTH CHRIS-and want to replicate this recipe you will be absolutely delighted. When I went to RUTH CHRIS, my waiter raved about it....Not a big fan of Sweet Potatoes, I stepped outside my mundane comfort zone, and. ordered it as a side....<br/><br/>As far as those who complained it was too sweet, made substitutions resulting in lower reviews....LEARN TO READ!!! Then go to the restaurant and then pass judgement. The name of this restaurant is Ruth's Chris Sweet Potato Casserole....It rankles me that some deviate from what is Clearly written....<br/>*the comment about the misprint about the butter 1 stick of melted butter to the crust and 1/3 stick of butter to the sweet potatoes is correct.<br/>I loved this casserole at Ruth's Chris am delighted to make it at home for a mere fraction of the price...

I made this for Thanksgiving and it was a HUGE hit! The best sweet potato casserole I ever had! The only change I made to the recipe is that I cut the sweet potato into wedges, drizzled them with olive oil and salt and baked them at 375 for an hour and then mashed them as the recipe instructs. You could take the "roasted" flavor from baking them and it was incredible!
